Earthquakes Houses.

The fact that there was slight shock
OF earthquake in Charleston yesterday
is likely to attract attention at this
time, owing to its following so closely
upon the heels of the fatal earthquake
in Europe. Whilst we are worrying
ourselves over the subject, and wonder
ing why earthquakes have not driven oil
the people out of Japan and South
America, the Providence Journdtpoints
out the reason. 1t says
alt is foolish and ignorant to say that
the disaster which has come upon these
people is something against which, like
a visitation of Providence, man has no
protection. The same disturbance In
Japan, South America, or any portion
of the recognized earthquake belt would
not probably have thrown down a single
building or caused any loss OF life. In
those regions experience has taught the
people to protect themselves by one
story, flexible buildings, by laying out
the streets diagonally to the direction
OF the geological faults and making them
not less than twice as wide as the height
of the houses, and by other scientific
and sensible precautions. The result is
that earthquakes there are not more
disastrous, on the average, than thunder
storms in New England.
"a large, tall building, whether OF
heavy stone or massive timbers, is the
first place to flee from when a shock
comes. 1t may be necessary also to re-
mind ourselves that the attempt to ex-
plain this disaster by the present rela-
tive position OF the sun and moon is
arrant nonsense. However little the
seismologist may actually know about
earthquakes, il is as certain as any hui
man knowledge can be that they are
wholly indigenous in their origin"
All of which seems to imply that
even in this country we build our
houses too high, and that the deaths are
all, or nearly all of them, caused by the
earthquake not Immediately but me-
diately. Our tall brick houses are the
instruments of destruction to life which
the earthquake employs. The carpen'
tiers ought to "boom " frame buildings

FEBRUARY, 26, 1887.
The absorbing topic of this COM
m,Nity at present is the wonderful re-
viyal going on under the direction of
Evangelist H. W. Brown. The meet
inc commenced two weeks ago to-mOr-
row, and up to last night there had
be en- 325 conversions. The spirit Is
manifest in the community. Men are
converted at their houses, at their
ste res, and dozens are converted and
saved each night.
'On Thursday night sixty-three per-
sons made confession. These are from
all classes in the community. Old men
and old women have been brought TO
CT rist, and of the number converted
two thirds at least are men.
The meetings will continue through
the next week. Among the visiting
ministers have been DIR. Lafferty, OF
Richmond DR.. Smith, of Lynchburg
DIR. Dinwiddie, OF Alexandria, and Rev.
Mr.. Howard, the Presbyterian eyange-
list. II is probable that special effort
will be made among the students.

M0ONSHINERs CAUGHT.
Am Accident Enables an OMcer so
Detect Them.

A Burlington Vt.) special says:
United States authorities in this State
have Just succeeded in finding a gang
of moonshiners who have for several
years been doing an extensive Illicit
distillery business in Orange county.
The manner in which they were dis
covered is remarkable. An officer OF
this city was riding through the
widest portion of Orange county,
which is the toughest in this
mountainous State, in stage,
of which he was the only occupant be-
sides the driver. When certain point
was reached the driver asked his lone
passenger if he would like drink of
cider brandy. Owing in part to the re-
moteness of the locality which renders
the procuring OF other liquor difficult,
as well SIS the fact that cider brandy has
considerable "snap" in itself, this Is
the fayorite drink Of the people there,
and it happened that the officer wanted
TO find ont where this liquor was made.
He accordingly stated that he would
like "hon very much.
This parlance convinced the driver
that he was oil right, and accordingly
in few minutes the officer was sur
prised to see the driver stop near a
clump of bushes. The twain went to
the rear and in hollow stump large
bottle OF brandy was found. Each took
a drink, and the officer was still further
surprised to see the driver leave a small
sum of money with the bottle and drive
on. By pretending that he was well
acquainted with the business and sym
pathizing with its followers he managed
TO learn the whereabouts of the gang.
Investigation showed that he was on
the right trail. A short time since Ed
SON and Loren Magoon were arrested
and bound over TO the February
term of court. Evidence against them
was slight, but on Thursday United
| States Marshal Robinson and Deputy
| Marshal Il. u. Smith, OF Topsham,
| made raid on other Magoon families
| and made rich haul. AT several diff
| ferent houses in retired places they
found distillery apparatus, including

ments, and succeeded In arresting five

New united states Senators.

New OnlltQ oJdNCS soOAAaNOAS'
AS the West Virginia Legislature has
adjourned and Congress is still in ses-
sion, the vacancy in the representation
from that State in the United States
Senate will necessarily "happen du-
ring the "rccess of the Legislature
70 wit. on the 4th Of March, or next
week. So that III this case no question
can he raised as TO the right OF the
Governor to appoint The same will
be the case in New Jersey If the Legis-
lature OF that State shall adjourn
before the term of the present
Congress shall expire. But the Lee
cislature is not likely to do so, we
suppose. And so the sticklers for
technicalities will contend that the
Governor of New Jersey cannot in that
case appoint, he having this right only
when the vacancy happens during the
"recess" of the Legislature. In the
case of Indiana, if the United States
Senate shall refuse to seat Mr.. TURPIE,
il cannot do so before next winter, I'M
less there be an extra session, and so
the vacancy will "happen during the
recess of the Legislature, inasmuch as
the Legislature of that State meets only
once in two years.
Whom will Governor WILSON, of
West Virginia, appoint? The names
mentioned in the Charleston telegram
in our issue of yesterday were those OF
HENRY s. WALKER and DANIEL B. LU-
CAS-. Mr.. WALKER was what was called
a Greenback lunatic " a few years
ago. He is said to be perhaps the finest
stump-speaker in West Virginia. From
what we know of him and have heard
from othsr persons concerning him, we
have come to the cOncluson that he is
not such man as ought to be elevated
to the United States Senate ; and we
trust he will not be. Mr.. LUCAS
ought not to be appointed. Why not?
Because he was one of the leaders of
the "rebels" of the West Virginia
Legislature, who refused to support the
caucus nominee-CAMDEN. He certain
" ought not to be allowed to profit by
his refusal to act with his party; and,
tbouob Governor WILSON and he are
both Jefferson-county men, and though
the Governor is himself an .anti-CAM-
1sSman, we do not think that MIR. Lucas
will be the fortunate appointee. There
are numbers Of good men and true in
West Virginia who are capable,
faithful, and honest. We men

would do honor to West Virginia and
10 Virginia as it was before there WIS a
State of West Virginia. There are
others well entitled to the honor living
in other parts of the State-Congress-
man WILSON and Governor WILSON
himself for instance.
Mr.. CAMDEN is not expected to be
the Governors appointee, he and Gov
ernor WILSON belonging to different
factions of the Democratic party. We
have no tears to shed over CAMDEN s
defeat. We sympatihzed with him only
in bis character of Democratic nomi'
nee. If the Governor shall appoint

named, otany one of dozen Others Of

uey Embarrassed.

A Washington special says: Gov
ernor Curtin is always happiest when
aiding others and giving comfort to the
old soldiers of Pennsylvania and their
widows. A few days ago there was
passed in the House private pension
bill for the relief of soldiers widow
living in Mr. Curtin's district. While
the vote upon the bill was being taken
the widow in her weeds occupied front
seat in the members gallery. After
The bill was passed and was ordered
sent to the Senate she went from the
gallery down to the reception-room and
sent in her card to the old war Gov
ernor, desiring to thank him in person
for the aid he had rendered her Mr..
Curtin, before going to the reception
room, called to him the handsome
Young member from Michigan, Mr..
rarsney, who had materially assisted
him in having the bill passed, and said
to him that he would be glad to intro.
duce him to the lady whom he had
helped to benefit.
The two went to the reception-room
and met the lady, who was so overcome
with Joy that she threw her arms about
the Governors neck and kissed him
several times before he could fairly
realize the situation. After being re-
leased from his pleasant though tenn
porary imprisonment he said to the
grateful woman that his young friend
from Michigan, Mr.. Tarsney, had con
tributed great deal towards the pass
age of the bill.
81 know few persons outside OF
Pennsylvania, said the lady, "and |
never before saw a man from Michi-
gan; but if this young congressman as
sisted You I will allow him to kiss my
hond," and, suiting the action to the
word, extended it. Mr.. Tarsney gently
complied with the expressed privilege.
Governor Curtin, who tells the story,
says that Tarsney is not now as enthu
siastic for pensions rs he was.

Want Money for seismoscOpes.

A telegram from Washington says:
The officers at the Signal Office are de-
sirous of securing from Congress a
small appropriation for the purchase OF
a number of seismoscopes. II is de-
sirable, they say, to scatter these
throughout the country in order to de.
termine more accurately the different
questions connected with seismic con-
WILSON'S. The instrument in use at the
Signal Office is the only one of special
value in the country. But, unfortu-
nately, as there is no fund out of which
TO pay for the instruments, and as Con-
qress is apparently not interested in
appropriating money except where
some political advantage can be enjoy
cd. the few hundred dollars necessary
for this purpose will not probably soon
be forthcoming.
